While Hawaii may boast of the availability and freshness of tropical fruits, we often receive under-ripened fruit that has to be transported across the "big lake" to our shores. I've used TFC several times of recent and each of my recipients have raved about getting "real mainland fruit" that far exceeds what we get at our local grocery stores. Ordering is easy and effective with an immediate confirmation and receiving the shipping notice also helps you track your gift and warn your recipients to expect a delivery. MAHALO, TFC, for helping me bring some unexpected happiness to my island family/friends.
